I was told of a problem to keep an eye on. I guess the stringers that the engines bolt to don't tie into the forward bulkhead and this can become a problem due to the lack of support. I have seen some that actually had steel plates fabbed to tie them together. Don't know if this is true for all years or not. Sea Ray claims it was never a problem. Some of the people who worked on them claimed different. Power boat mag (I think) did a test on a 32 Envision which is the same boat. You should try to find someone that has old issues and see if they can copy the article. The one thing I remember from the article was that it would have benefited from much larger trim tabs.
